Craig- The shelter has been contacted and I have posted info on how donations can be made. Could you modify your last post? BRAT will be picking up these pups Thursday or Friday.
thanks!

Melissa,
Thanks so much for getting involved. If I can be of any help PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me. -
For BrendaTXBrat - The address listed is in Tennessee. Is there a better address than that listed on the form to get the funds to you a.s.a.p.? Also, I will be sending a money order as I am from Canada. We have to indicate who the money order is payable to. What is the best name to put down? Thanks so much for your assistance.

I hope this BYB has had their dogs spayed and neutered after this fiasco. This sort of thing just infuriates me.
-
Working on getting the BYB to turn their dogs over to BRAT as well. Should know something in the next couple of days.
-
Thanks to all who are stepping up to help these pups! I hope BRAT can take them all and find foster homes.
If this is the guy I am thinking about, he has been in Bs for a long time and has even shown some of his dogs. He is a BYB and does not breed for the petstores. I remember a few years ago on his website there was a picture of a whole lot of tri pups in an x-pen. I hope this person does get out of the business as some of his Bs wind up at commercial breeders and other BYBs and used as breeding dogs. I was told in the past that he has dumped Bs at the shelter before.
There are people in TX who are familiar with him and would know what health issues are in his line.
These pups were for sale earlier in the year for $200 each!

This is not the person you are thinking about (I know who you ARE thinking about) but it is the same city. Also, the Sire and Dam of this litter both come from the breeder you refer to. From what I gather, he sold these two to this BYB as a breeding pair. I guess when they couldn't sell the pups they gave up on the BYB business.
I rescued a pup from this BYB last year that was headed to the shelter. She turned out to be a very sweet girl, DNA Fanconi negative with a wonderful disposition. I hope that thest pups turn out just as well.

Thank you all for what your doing to help these basenjis.
Shame on that byb..shame! -
All those pups are really cute, hopefully they can find homes quickly. Kudos to Craigh and BRAT for caring for these darlings.

Folks,
First of all thanks everyone for providing assistance to BRAT in this rescue effort. Our forum community has always been known to come together when it comes to saving our four legged friends.
To protect our forum members and ourselves we encourage everyone to please send us a private message to rescue@basenjiforums.com before posting any future donation solicitation, fundraiser ideas or any Basenji Forums community related commercial activity involving money collection. Sharron Hurlbut from BRAT is on this alias and will be reviewing and approving all future rescue fundraisers.
Fundraising introduces unnecessary complexity and liability for Basenji Forums Staff, so we are very strict and sensitive about this subject. Too many people get scammed into donating for various non existing causes and money gets stolen on the internet all the time. Luckily our forum community has been very careful thus far.
Please email any future rescue fundraiser proposals to rescue@basenjiforums.com before posting them publicly on the forum.
Here is a link to our forum rules and guidelines:
-
Sorry, Mr. Alex. I'm the one who started it by asking whether I could donate.:o
-
Alex, is there no leeway for a non profit group like BRAT to ask for funds, as opposed to a person asking for $$?
Not trying to be argumenative, just asking. -

No need to apologize. We are just trying to make sure everyone is safe using our forum community.
Sharron,
Please email admin@basenjiforums.com to discuss.
Thank you,

I am so glad these pups are getting a good solid chance at life. Keep us posted would you Melissa(ps, Petra here with Riley)?
-
This may be a stupid question, but is there a way that someone like me in California can adopt one of these pups?
